"Sucking" doesn't actually generate any thrust - In highschool, my physics teacher did a demo with a T-shaped pipe with a fan in the middle, suspended from some string.
Without the T, the pipe moved as you'd expect. With the T directing the airflow in equal proportions perpendicular to the axis of the pipe, the pipe stayed still as if the fan wasn't on at all.
This reads like a creative writing exercise from

This is very important. I have a friend who took a job at a Mysterious Fintech Startup - he told our social circle in the pub and the entire table collectively groaned and encouraged him to find something more stable (red flags involved being paid pre-tax, etc).
They went bust a month later, a day after he decided jumped ship.
I don't go around misgendering people I don't like because I don't like them. That's shit.
